Consumer Description

TEAR ALONG FRONT FACE OF UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD. CALLED SEVERAL SALVAGE YARDS TO FIND REPLACEMENT AND WAS TOLD BY ALL THAT THEY CAN'T KEEP THESE IN STOCK. WHEN I DID LOCATE ONE THE MANAGER AT THE SALVAGE YARD ASKED WHAT HAPPENED TO MY INTAKE. I SHOWED HIM WHERE THE INTAKE SPLIT OPEN AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THEY'RE SEEING A LOT OF THESE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I WAS LUCKY TO FIND THE ONE HE HAD. THIS PLASTIC (COMPOSITE) COMPONENT PROBABLY DOESN'T FAIR WELL IN ARIZONA. DT
